The lighting was designed by internationally renowned Eleftheria Deko, known for her award-winning work on the Acropolis and the opening ceremony of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games.

Evangelos Mytilineos, head of metals and energy group Metlen, has asked the EU to make certain European companies get access to rare earth metals.

"China continues to restrict exports of metals and rare earths… unfortunately the EU has not specified measures" to do so, despite its legislation on critical primary materials passed in May, Mytilineos said in a LinkedIn post.

Metlen Energy & Metals, formerly Mytilineos, has inaugurated its second solar park in Chile. 

Construction of the park in the country's Coquimbo area began in 2023 and cost €65 million. 

The 90-megawatt park has 151,920 solar panels and is able to store more than 230,000 megawatt-hours of energy, providing uninterrupted service. 

Greece's stock market reclaimed the 1,400-point mark Tuesday after six sessions.

Despite trading within a fairly narrow band, the Athens Stock Exchange general index went through several ups and downs, before settling at 1,403.17 points, up 0.36%. Intra-day, it hit a low of 1,394.62 (-0.25%) and a high of 1,404.62 (+0.46%).

The Sunday Times has profiled Greek businessman Evangelos Mytilineos, who is about to attempt one of the largest IPOs on the London Stock Exchange.

ATHEX-listed group Metlen achieved a record first-half net profit in the first six months of 2024, with analysts in their initial reactions following the results announcement maintaining a "buy" recommendation for the company's stock, which is trading at attractive levels.

The week started at Athinon Avenue with an interesting session that started with gains, then swung to significant losses that were contained by the closing. Banks led the decline at the bourse, but several other stocks resisted, keeping the main index above the 1,400-point level in the end.

Thursday offered investors another bank-centered decline for stocks, which came with a drop in turnover too. The benchmark at Athinon Avenue took significant losses and even closed at the day's low, pointing to a trend for a further drop on Friday morning at least. Observers say the market is waiting for the sale of blue chip Terna Energy to unleash some liquidity.

Stocks at Athinon Avenue offset the early post-election losses on Monday to keep the benchmark in the black by the closing, even though the majority closed in the red. Banks - led by Eurobank - had a positive day and contributed significantly to the recovery of the main and blue chip indexes, though turnover left a lot to be desired.

The clearer strategic targeting of Athens-listed group Mytilineos to the needs of the large European and global market for new products has been sealed with the change of brand to Metlen, en route to its listing on the London Stock Exchange.
